Warning and indicator lamps
Overview of warning and indicator lamps
When the ignition is switched on, many systems
perform a self-test. Some warning and indicator
lamps may switch on or flash temporarily during
this time. This behaviour is no cause for alarm.
These warning and indicator lamps only signal a
malfunction if they light up or flash, once the
engine has been started or the vehicle is in oper‐
ation.
